While the mythology of the ancient games has come to exemplify the highest political, religious, community, and individual ideals of the time, the modern Olympic Games, by comparison, are widely known as an international, bi-annual sporting event where champions have the potential to earn not only glory for their country, but lucrative endorsement deals and the perks of worldwide fame. This work examines the Olympic movement from a variety of theoretical perspectives to uncover the connection between athleticism and philosophy for a deeper appreciation of the Olympic pillars of sport, environment, and culture. While today' Olympic champions are neither blessed by the gods nor rewarded with wreaths of olive, the original spirit and ancient ideals of the Olympic movement endure in its modern embodiment. The editora have assembled a team of international scholars to explore topics such as the concept of excellence, ethics, doping, gender, and race. Interweaving ancient and modern Olympic traditions, the book considers the philosophical implications of the Games' intersection with historical events and modern controversy in a unique analysis of tradition and the future of the Olympiad. 610 24 $a Mouvement olympique. 610 24 $a Jeux olympiques. 650 0 $a Olympics $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Olympics $x History. 650 6 $a Jeux olympiques $x Philosophie. 650 6 $a Jeux olympiques $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Olympics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045581 650 7 $a Olympics $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045598 650 7 $a Olympics $x Philosophy. $2 nli 650 7 $a Olympics $x History. $2 nli 650 0 $a Olympics $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Olympics $x History. 655 4 $a Publications eÌlectroniques. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Reid, Heather Lynne, $d 1963- 700 1 $a Austin, Michael W. 700 1 $a Reid, Heather Lynne, $d 1963- 700 1 $a Austin, Michael W. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Olympics and philosophy. $d Lexington : University Press of Kentucky, 2012 $z 9780813136509 830 0 $a Philosophy of popular culture. 856 4 $u https://www.dawsonera.com/abstract/9780813136509 $z AcceÌs limiteÌ au CIO 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724070919.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9BFECEAC214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
